Oblong-leaved Sundew (Drosera intermedia)

While searching for insects to get macroshots we came across these tiny flesheating plants. Like the shape and the method it uses, drops of glue with some kind of enzymes that digest their prey. Smart..

Got to go back on a sunny day to get some more shots,
